I'm using centos5 hiab with qmail and apache and i'm trying to install Mailman via: ./configure --prefix=/home/admin/mailman --with-mail-gid=qmail --with-cgi-gid=apache
and I get the error:
***** Distutils is not available or is incomplete for /usr/bin/python
***** If you installed Python from RPM (or other package manager)
***** be sure to install the -devel package, or install Python
***** from source. See sec. 15.1 of the Installation Manual for

Doing an rpm -qa | grep python
yields the following:
python-2.4.3-19.el5
libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.2
[Code]....
So it seems to me that the only thing I need to is upgrade(new install??) python-devel-2.4.3-19.e15
I would like to update Python v.2.4 and Numpy to Python v.2.6 and Numpy v.1.3. How can I do it. I heard that we can use "yum update", but I am not sure to do it correctly.
I have some tools that seem to have issues with Python 2.5 but are OK (on other systems) with Python 2.6. So, I was considering upgrading my Python interpreter to the current 2.6.4, but I know that in various RH distros, this was strongly discouraged. Is it OK to replace my current Python 2.5.2 on F10? If so, should that be done from source or can I do this cleanly through yum?
I'm encountering a python error in the beginning of the upgrade. See screenshot. How can this be solved or should I indeed file a bug report? Problem is that except for taking the picture, I've been unable to save the info.
On upgrade I ran into this catch-22, and have almost 500 packages in limbo because of it. Any ideas on how to fix python-gobject or pycompile or whichever is angry?

I have recently upgraded from lenny to squezee and I noticed some problems during upgrade with some python files. Now I have same problem with them and I need to resolve it so that I can install sane:
Code: dpkg --configure -a Setting up python-imaging (1.1.7-2) ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/runpy.py", line 95, in run_module filename, loader, alter_sys)
[Code]...
aptitude -f install reports same problems with python-reportlab and python-imaging.
So I was trying to upgrade kupfer when it told me it couldn't, as python-keyring was a virtual package and could not be installed. I'm using Karmic, so the package python-keyring is not available, although it is in Lucid. How would I go about upgrading kupfer/installing python-keyring??
I had problems with python stuff and so update manager did not work. Also many other problems, PiTiVi was installed but did not start eg... After many trials of this and that I removed python-gtk2 and so also ubuntu desktop. But was unable to get it back. Now I cannot even shut down. While it is not possible to install desktop or anything else, would it be possible to fix this by upgrading the whole system to 10.04 (10.10?)? Would it fix python installation. How could I do it. Some info tells to change sources.list and run apt-get upgrade, but some tell not to do so.

I just finished upgrading the last of 3 machines from F10 to F12 using preupgrade (all i686). Except for a non-critical hplip issue, all went well with the first two machines upgraded 1 week and 3 days ago, but some python F10->F12 updates were missing on the third machine that I upgraded yesterday, leaving yum inoperable. Thanks to good yum error messages, I was able to resolve the problem (I think), but I thought I should post to check if mine is a unique or common problem, to enquire if it may have resulted from some of the python packages being in "update transit" in the repositories, and/or whether something like this can be avoided in future? Details follow:
Upgrade appeared to go well except for some dejavu font dependency issues (experienced on all three machines) and libcrypto.so.7 missing for eet-1.2.2-4... (third machine). However, there was a boot message that some python module (can't remember which) was not present for some nvidia requirement, although video driver worked fine. When testing yum: First it complained that libpython2.6.so.1.0 was not present. Since that module conflicted (identified by rpm) with various python 2.5.*f10 packages that that were still on board, I copied libpython2.6.so.1.0 (from a current f12 rpm) into /usr/lib manually. Second, yum complained that urlgrabber was not available, so rpm with the latest python-urlgrabber for f12 solved that.
Third, yum complained that pycurl was not available, so rpm with the latest python-pycurl solved that. Yum now works! and boot message is gone! I ran "yum install python-libs" to make sure that any necessary dependencies were met following my manual installation of libpython2.6.so.1.0, which resulted in a bunch of python dependencies being upgraded as a result.
After upgrading to 10.04LTR 64bit I encountered this problem below... I have already tried -f / --configure to no avail.

I have an HP printer and have installed hplip in the hope of resolving some printing problems and having nicer, more consistent print dialog boxes. Unfortunately it wants dbus-python version .80+ and the current version is .70
I'm aware that centos is about stability and I'm guessing that a new version of dbus-python isn't likely to happen until centos 6-- right? So what's the best option? Can I find a newer dbus-python package that works with centos 5.2 or is that defeating the purpose of the OS? Do I have to choose between stability with printing problems and instability with better printing functionality?
Where can I find SRPMs for the latest python-2.4.3-43 and gcc-4.1.2-50 included in CentOS 5.6? They seems to be missing from centos/5.6/os/SRPMS on all mirrors that I checked...
i have installed on my home PC CentOS 5.5, and downloaded Python 3.1.3 source, when I have tried to run the configuration file I have got

I have tried downloading gcc and installing it, but got the same message. So, I can't find any C compiler, and I can't install one.
I have CentOS 5 32 bit and I wish to be able to use Python as it is required by a web script I am installing.The Apache however handles the test Python scripts as text. I have Apache/2.2.3 installed and I followed this tutorial: [URL]installed mod_python, edited the httpd.conf file, restarted the Apache, it restarted ok - no change at all. I tried other suggestions I googled but in vain.
I installed mysqld with yum then yum quit working with this error:http://yum.baseurl.org/ticket/70 when mysqld is stopped yum works again. what does a running instance of mysqld have in common with a python yum package manager?
in ubuntu 10.10, I have installed python 2.7. I would like to use apt-get to install packages to this version of python but I haven't been able to figure out howThings I have tried without success:changing the symlink at /usr/bin/python to point to /usr/bin/python2.7 - even after doing this apt-get still installs stuff to python2.6.Set up python2.7 as the primary alternative using update-alternatives - doesn't work
I have a function definition in a Python 2.x script which take a tuple as one of its arguments, but 2to3 has no answers nor any of my searching on how to represent the same in Python 3.x
I have an intel DP35DP motherboard - ICH9 southbridge - set to AHCI mode. Working fine under 5.2. Yesterday I updated to centos 5.3, and got kernel 2.6.18-128.1.16 and now it can't boot. It hangs trying to read sata1 with DRDY errors and exceptions.So then I installed 5.3 from a DVD onto a new drive, and got kernel 2.6.18-128. This worked, most of the time, but occasionally gave me this error. I then updated my BIOS, and the error went away.Then I updated this new working drive to the latest kernel (yum update again) and got kernel 2.6.18-128.1.16, and now it wont boot again, with the same message.
have all ways been hiding in the background read not say a thinglets start well i look after 2 dell poweredge 2650 with 12 gig ram installed servers has been running fine onwell i though it was time to upgrade to 5 all went fine till reboot Memory for crash kernel (0x to 0x) not within permissible range ! well what i have been reading this is the norm for now What is mean by ignore it? LoLwell so i did the system keeps boot till i get to this linesbin/mingetty: /sbin/mingetty: cannot execute binary file alot, and it shows.

I make upgrade from CentOS 5.4 to CentOS 5.5. Architecture is historical i386. On first boot my system was freezed by disabled earlier but not removed manualy writed xdm service. I disable it. But not found network. I see hardware address of card fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. This address is not normal. But how to restore eeprom of this network adapter?
I don't think its trouble of new CentOS. I think this is random incident.Configuration of computer is Intel D510MO motherboard with integrated atom processor and realtek 8111dl nic. I know some trics about fix mac address in centos, but how to fix this address in bios?
I have encountered the same problem as indicated in this post: "udev hang after upgrade from 5.3 to 5.4"[URL]... I'm testing the upgrade path to centos 5.4 on several virtual machines prior to upgrading our production systems. I have upgraded centos 5.2 --> centos 5.4 and centos 5.3 to centos 5.4. In both cases udev hangs after the upgrade. The following message is displayed on the console: "Starting udev: Wait timeout. Will continue in the background [FAILED]"
I found another related post: "udev hangs on boot for a long time, suspect pam_console_apply"[URL]..So, I booted by VMs using the "udevdebug" option to grub and received the same error message - "udevd-event [###]: run_program: Waiting ## seconds for output of '/sbin/pam_console_apply /dev/..."
In my /etc/ldap.conf file "bind_policy hard" is commented out. I added a line "bind_policy soft" as described in the post and my VMs booted fine. NOTE: This problem is not encountered with a fresh install of CentOS 5.4 and the "bind_policy hard" option in the /etc/ldap.conf is commented out as in the upgraded systems. What is really causing this problem and how do I get it addressed? I have a couple hundred systems to update from various releases of CentOS 5 to the latest current version 5.4. It would be nice to get this bug squashed..
